And Dutton's first response was to say "ooh, got him! Got him!" Like it's a win, and applaud himself for it. Meanwhile the camera man's got a head injury

Week one of the Australian election campaign and the leader of the opposition (the guy running to be Prime Minister) has kicked a football into a cameraman's head

Local bigot scared of colours. 😔

obviously, i don't think many people will see this, but if you're in Australia and you're voting this year: Vote 1 Labor. Don't listen to the people who tell you that "both major parties are the same" or "Labor is just lib-lite", they are wrong. look at what Labor has given us in the past: 38 hour work-weeks, medicare, they've tried their hardest to meet our climate targets despite aggressive coalition and mining industry push back. look at Albanese's Future Made in Australia plan. All things that Dutton's LibNat coalition are actively trying to destroy. Labor is not "shit-lite", they are a fantastic option.

BTW, look at all the candidates on theyvoteforyou.org.au and you'll find a lot of these independents and smaller parties calling Labor "Lib-lite" will overwhelmingly vote with the Coalition. And the Greens? their whole schtick is "Labor isn't doing enough", but you'll find they voted against almost all of Labors' bills on price gouging, housing, climate, everything. The Greens whole strategy is shooting down Labor bills so they can bitch and moan that "Labor hasn't done enough."

Don't fall for all the "Albanese/Labor haven't done anything". They've done a lot. Dutton, Rinehart, and Murdoch just don't want you to realise it.

Vote 1 Labor.

A POEM FOR DONALD TRUMP VERSION 2.1

The MAGOT Feast

He slithered from his golden pit,

A MAGOT dressed in power and wit.

With bloated lips and orange hue,

He whispered lies that somehow grew.

He dined on rage, devoured the poor,

Tossed truth and grace right out the door.

A bloated king with tiny hands,

He drew his borders in the sands.

The flag he hugged began to rot,

But still he smiled—he’d lose not.

"Fake news!" he screamed from tower high,

While shadows danced beneath the sky.

The world grew dim, the cult grew thick,

A circus bound by every trick.

And as the planet wheezed and burned,

The MAGOT laughed—"They never learned."

So when you hear that twisted cheer,

Know chaos wore a wig and sneer.

And in the end, beneath the dust,

The MAGOT feasts on broken trust.

Yours Truly

"Your Majesty, our Queen, of the many qualities Australians see in you, there is none stronger than the love you have for your husband, your King."

The Hon. Peter Dutton, Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and Leader of the Liberal Party during a speech at Australian Parliament House in Canberra, 21.10.2024

We don’t want “Temu Trump” …

[blooferladies]

15.25 AEDT

‘Temu Trump’ is now in Hansard*

The next question is from Greens MP Stephen Bates, who asks:

“Prime minister, why would you invite Donald Trump to Australia when you have a Temu Trump sitting opposite you right now!”

*hansard is the name of the Australian governments’ record of all its proceedings

[crystaltoa]

Welp, it’s started in Australia now. Given that he’s echoing Trumpian sentiments and Trump has just made that statement about diversity politics in response to a fatal plane crash, I really don’t think he’s going to get the response he’s after. What a fucking clown.

(For non-Australians, this is our Opposition leader and he’s getting rightfully dragged across the coals for this in the media)

[glimmertriggers]

[inezrable]

It's the Ides of March in Australia! We're killing Peter Dutton this year!
